cobber1


mate: Where's your cobber?; He is my best cobber.

Contributor's comments: It is still frequently and predominantly used in Tasmania. I hear it almost every week I am in Hobart and I am usually there about 3-5 weeks a year. I now live in Melbourne. Is your database unduly skewed towards Sydney, NSW?? I find it astonishing that cobber is not listed under Tasmania!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Editor's comments: Are there other areas around the country where this is used "frequently". In Sydney, I myself remember hearing it just once in the last 6 years. And then it was by a truckie standing on the path beside his truck - so I guess he could've come from anywhere.
